The current BSG design tries to shoe-horn the transport-specific
passthrough commands into the overall framework for SCSI passthrough
requests.  This has a couple problems:

 - each passthrough queue has to set the QUEUE_FLAG_SCSI_PASSTHROUGH flag
   despite not dealing with SCSI commands at all.  Because of that these
   queues could also incorrectly accept SCSI commands from in-kernel
   users or through the legacy SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND ioctl.
 - the real SCSI bsg queues also incorrectly accept bsg requests of the
   BSG_SUB_PROTOCOL_SCSI_TRANSPORT type
 - the bsg transport code is almost unredable because it tries to reuse
   different SCSI concepts for its own purpose.

This patch instead adds a new bsg_ops structure to handle the two cases
differently, and thus solves all of the above problems.  Another side
effect is that the bsg-lib queues also don't need to embedd a
struct scsi_request anymore.

to struct bsg_job for it in preparation of not exposing the request

Commit 3a025e1d1c2e ("Add optional check for bad kernel-doc comments")
causes W=1 the kernel-doc script to be run and thereby causes several
new warnings to appear when building the kernel with W=1. Fix the
block layer kernel-doc headers such that the block layer again builds
cleanly with W=1.

<title>bsg-lib: fix use-after-free under memory-pressure</title>
<updated>2017-10-04T14:35:04+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Benjamin Block</name>
<email>bblock@linux.vnet.ibm.com</email>
</author>
<published>2017-10-03T10:48:37+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=eab40cf336065e8d765e006b81ff48c5c114b365'/>
<id>eab40cf336065e8d765e006b81ff48c5c114b365</id>
<content type='text'>
When under memory-pressure it is possible that the mempool which backs
the 'struct request_queue' will make use of up to BLKDEV_MIN_RQ count
emergency buffers - in case it can't get a regular allocation. These
buffers are preallocated and once they are also used, they are
re-supplied with old finished requests from the same request_queue (see
mempool_free()).

The bug is, when re-supplying the emergency pool, the old requests are
not again ran through the callback mempool_t-&gt;alloc(), and thus also not
through the callback bsg_init_rq(). Thus we skip initialization, and
while the sense-buffer still should be good, scsi_request-&gt;cmd might
have become to be an invalid pointer in the meantime. When the request
is initialized in bsg.c, and the user's CDB is larger than BLK_MAX_CDB,
bsg will replace it with a custom allocated buffer, which is freed when
the user's command is finished, thus it dangles afterwards. When next a
command is sent by the user that has a smaller/similar CDB as
BLK_MAX_CDB, bsg will assume that scsi_request-&gt;cmd is backed by
scsi_request-&gt;__cmd, will not make a custom allocation, and write into
undefined memory.

Fix this by splitting bsg_init_rq() into two functions:
 - bsg_init_rq() is changed to only do the allocation of the
   sense-buffer, which is used to back the bsg job's reply buffer. This
   pointer should never change during the lifetime of a scsi_request, so
   it doesn't need re-initialization.
 - bsg_initialize_rq() is a new function that makes use of
   'struct request_queue's initialize_rq_fn callback (which was
   introduced in v4.12). This is always called before the request is
   given out via blk_get_request(). This function does the remaining
   initialization that was previously done in bsg_init_rq(), and will
   also do it when the request is taken from the emergency-pool of the
   backing mempool.

The SAS code will need it.  Also mark the name argument const to match
bsg_register_queue.

Since we split the scsi_request out of struct request bsg fails to
provide a reply-buffer for the drivers. This was done via the pointer
for sense-data, that is not preallocated anymore.

Failing to allocate/assign it results in illegal dereferences because
LLDs use this pointer unquestioned.

An example panic on s390x, using the zFCP driver, looks like this (I had
debugging on, otherwise NULL-pointer dereferences wouldn't even panic on
s390x):

Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference in virtual kernel address space

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt

This patch moves bsg-lib to allocate and setup struct bsg_job ahead of
time, including the allocation of a buffer for the reply-data.

This means, struct bsg_job is not allocated separately anymore, but as part
of struct request allocation - similar to struct scsi_cmd. Reflect this in
the function names that used to handle creation/destruction of struct
bsg_job.
